Too Faced "All I Want for Christmas" Set

Too Faced "All I Want for Christmas" Set

Hey everyone!

I hope your week is going well! I know not everyone gets an early jump on holiday shopping, or maybe you're just looking for a way to treat yourself, so I'm continuing to review several of the holiday sets that I have! :) This one from Too Faced is called "All I Want for Christmas", and it's $36 at Ulta. I noticed that lots of these were still in stock at my local Ulta store. While it's a small-ish kit, it still contains some full-size products, plus a fun cylinder-shaped chevron makeup bag. I think this kit is really nice for several reasons... I enjoy most of the products, it's a good value for what you're getting, and the selection of colors in this kit will work for so many ages.

There's a mirrored compact in this kit that's about the size of a typical pressed powder compact. It includes a fabulous shade of blush in a satin finish. It's a deep peach color, and the concentrated swatch (and the camera flash) are making it appear lighter than it really is. (You can get a more true look at the way this color comes off in my pictures below). But I think it's a great, healthy color that's pigmented and will show up... yet it's easy to wear and you don't have to betoo careful with application. This compact also includes two eyeshadows... a matte cream and a shimmery rose gold/taupe-ish color. It's kind of hard to describe, but it has an unexpected warmth on the lids. These two shadows can easily create a natural look without anything else added. Both the matte and the shimmery shade are equally pigmented. There's also a full-size Shadow Insurance eyeshadow primer in this kit, which is one of my favorites for improving a shadow's longevity on the lids. 

Other items in the kit include a mini Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner in Perfect Black. This is a really creamy eyeliner and applies with ease, although I don't feel like it's totally waterproof. It's decently long-wearing, but can lose a little intensity by the end of the day (at least that's what I've noticed on my eyes). I'm not a fan of the mini Lash Injection Mascara. The brush is quite large, and I don't feel like it does a great job with separation. It's really rich and black in color, but doesn't give me super bold lashes. I much prefer Too Faced's new Better Than Sex mascara, but who knows, everyone's lashes are different so others may enjoy this one! I love the La Creme lipstick formula, so I think it's awesome that you get a full-size in this kit, and I'm pretty sure it's a limited edition shade called Believe. I'm so sorry that the picture above is making it look like such a bubblegum pink color (it's a gray afternoon and I've been struggling with the lighting)... it's actually a deeper rose shade and shows up more true-to-color in the picture below. These lipsticks are super rich with color and so shiny! Reminds me a little bit of the Sonia Kashuk Shine Luxe Sheers! :)
